Two other species not named 

 by Lund. 



Pipridea melanonota is mentioned by Lund (under the name Tanagra 

 vittata) as one of the species with a normal stomach. On the other 

 hand, according to M. Taczanowski (P. Z. S. 1879, p. 226), Stolzmann 

 found in this bird " la poche stomacale rudimentaire," and consequently p. z. S. 1880, 

 considers that it is nearly allied to the Euphonies. It is to be hoped ? 147 - 

 that we shall know ere long which of these statements is correct. It 

 would be also highly desirable to ascertain the structure of the stomach 

 in the other genera placed near to Euphonia, particularly that of the 

 genus Procnias. I propose on some future occasion to publish a 

 supplementary list describing the condition of the stomach in any other 

 forms that I may have an opportunity of examining.
